My 4 Favorite Recent Cookbook Releases


I am always cooking and I love cookbooks. Here are 4 of my favorites that have released in the last few months. I've already tried a few recipes in each of these and will be trying more in the new year--which I will definitely be posting about! ⁠

Ottolenghi Flavor by Yotam Ottolenghi and Ixta Belfrage (released 10.13.2020 from Ten Speed Press) Ottolenghi and Belfrage break down the fundamentals of cooking vegetables into three key elements: process, pairing, and produce. I am focusing on eating a more plant-focused diet in 2021 and these delicious recipes are sure to help. ⁠

The Roads to Rome: A Cookbook by Jarrett Wrisley and Paolo Vitaletti (released 11.3.2020 from Clarkson Potter) A travel book and cookbook in one, this book would be just at home on a coffee table as on a kitchen counter. Rather than a basic collection of recipes, The Roads to Rome gives background into ingredients and dishes as well as insight into the daily lives of locals who shared their specialties with the chefs.⁠

Cook with Me: 150 Recipes for the Home Cook by Alex Guarnaschelli (released 10.13.20 from Clarkson Potter) My daughter and I love ICAG! Every time she is a judge on our favorite show Guy's Grocery Games we cheer...and every time she competes as a chef she blows the competition away. Her style of cooking is simple but precise, she remains calm under pressure, and she is a patient teacher. This cookbook reads just like her personality: full of comporting recipes, heart-warming stories, and clever tips.⁠

Old World Italian: Recipes and Secrets from Our Travels in Italy by Mimi Thorisson (released 9.15.20 from Appetite by Random House) Another travel/cook book with pictures that are Instagram drool-worthy. I especially love that the recipes come from all areas of the country rather than simply northern/southern--the way so many other Italian cookbooks tend to be divided.⁠




Which one of these would you grab first? Have you been using any great cookbooks this holiday season? ⁠
